Feb 2024: Is Progress Possible?

In February 2024, we will discuss Lewis’s essay “Is Progress Possible?” from the book God in the Dock. The essay originally appeared in The Observer (20 July 1958).

Here is an excerpt from the first paragraph:

“I care far more how humanity lives than how long. Progress, for me, means increasing goodness and happiness of individual lives. For the species, as for each man, mere longevity seems to me a contemptible ideal.”
